Re: Windows Vitual PC with Satellite A100-906

Hi,
can I use Windows Virtual PC on my laptop Satellite A100-906? My CPU support virtualization but I cant install Windows Virtual PC.
In BIOS I havent setting for virtualization enable.
Thanks

Hi
As far as I know the notebook uses the CORE2 DUO T5600(1.83GHZ) CPU.
According to the Intel page the VT is supported by this CPU:
Check this:
http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=27254&processor=T5600&spec-codes=SL9SG,SL9SP,SL9U3,SL9U7,SLA4E
Therefore it should be possible to use the Intel Virtualization Technology.
Update the BIOS and check if there is a option which could enable / disable the VT.

One keyboard button is broken on Satellite A100-906

Hi guys,
Few days ago i bought Satellite a100 906. As soon i got home, i found one keyboard button (the cap from the inner side) is broken (the M letter).
Is it possible to order the keyboard buttons separately or only the full keyboard ?
My local dealer said only full keyboard is avalible, but its just funny, that i should buy a new one keypad instead of one letter cap.

Generally if the button mechanism is broken the whole keyboard must be replaced but if only the keycap is damage it should be possible to order the single keyboard key caps.
The removing of the keycaps is not very tricky. Simply go under the keycap with the fingernail and remove the keycap.
But I assume the warranty is valid therefore the service partner should do it for free.

Sound device of Satellite A100-906 stopped working

Hi all..
the sound on my Satellite A100-906 just stopped working in winxp.
I didn't make anything like installing a program etc.
I verified that the drivers are installed properly but after that I just had it so I installed a fresh copy of winxp and installed the sound driver BUT it didn't work!!!
I just don't know what to do with it.
Please someone help me..

Hi,
maybe you have the wrong drivers. If you already tried it here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
and the drivers didnt worked for you, then go to this link and download the drivers from that page:
http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_byModel.asp
They should work. Background of that issue is, that the soundchip was designed for vista and not xp, so the drivers wont work and you have to use special drivers which could be downloaded in toshiba canada.

Re: Does Satellite A100-906 supports firewire 400 or 800?

Hi..
I have a Satellite A100-906 and I want to ask, if someone knows if the i.LINK (IEEE 1394) connection in my laptop is the firewire400(a) or the firewire800(b) type ..Because I want to buy an external HD with firewire connection ..
Thanks

..i am a bit confused ..

Windows vista issues on Satellite A100-036

Hi. I have a Toshiba satellite A100-036 laptop with windows vista home basic 32 bit and I have the following problems.
1.They replace me the hard disk at a store. I only have the Toshiba recovery dvd that I used to format the windows. They told me that I can't use it any more because the restore partition of the disk is lost. If I want to do a format again what do I have to do?
2. Every time I turn on the laptop the touchpad scrolling doesn't work. I go to control panel > mouse and it shows me this message: "Unable to connect to synaptics pointing device driver. If you have installed another PS/2 pointing device driver please unistall the synaptics driver by clicking on the yes button. You then need to reinstall your pointing device driver for your external device again. Do you want to unistall the synaptics driver now?" I click No and after that it works again and the synaptics pointing device icon appear again in the task bar. If I restart the laptop it doesn't work again and I have to do the same things.
3. Every time I turn on the laptop the bluetooth doesn't work and the bluetooth icon doesn't appear in the task bar. I have to go to device manager, unistall the driver, go to control panel > bluetooth local com and it works again. Every time I turn on the laptop I have to do this.
4. Every time I turn on the laptop the security center is turned off and I have to turn it on or the automatic updates are off and I have to turn them on.
5. Some times it doesn't install the automatic updates and it shows me the error code 8000FFFF.
Could anybody help me? Thanks.

If you have created the Toshiba Recovery Disk in the past, you can use it in connection with new HDD. The Toshiba Recovery Disk would set the notebook back to factory settings which mean that you will get installed Windows system, Toshiba drivers and additional software.

Go to Toshiba EU driver page and download the Synaptics touchpad driver. Install the touchpad driver and reboot the notebook. Usually this should fix your issue.

This is strange. Usually the BT should work if BT stack was installed properly. Please note that you have to enable the BT using FN key (FN+F8). This combination enables and disables the WLan too. So ensure you did it correctly.

Please check this: [Turn automatic updating on or off|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/turn-automatic-updating-on-off#turn-automatic-updating-on-off=windows-vista]

Cannot install Windows XP Pro on Satellite A100-411

Hi,
I´ve got a question. I own a Toshiba Satellite A100-411 with Windows Vista Home Premium. Because of the performance which would me much better with Windows XP I tried to install Windows Xp on a second partition but on the same harddisk.
The Problem is that it didnt work, I put the Windows XP cd in my DVD Drive, did a reboot and started from cd.
Than the first installation window of Windows Xp opened and checked my system, but when it was done and
wantet to start the main installation i got a bluescreen, where was standing that she System was shut down because of an error and that i should change my videocard or that i should turn of caching and shadowing in my Bios.
But my Videocard realy works and is ok and i can't find caching and shadowing in the bios, so i cant install windows xp.
So my question is wether there is a possibility to install Windows XP on the A100-411 when Vista is installed on the other Partition.
Did I do something wrong or isnt it possible to install Windows Xp after Windows Vista on a A100-411
Sorry for my bad english and greetings from germany

Hey guys, this topic can be closed, ive fixed the problem on my own but thanks for your advice Jack Black.
I had 2 partitions before u told me to create them, that was not my problem, the problem was, that my windows xp cd was one of the older ones, so i created a new xp cd including service pack 2 and the installation went fine.
But than there was an other problem, the only OS which started was Win Xp because of the damaged bootloader of windows vista.
A friend told me that this problem can be fixed with VistaBootPro and that was a good advice of him.
Now everything is fine and i hope that my games wont crash anymore and i also hope that there will be not so much bluescreens as under windows vista.
Have a nice weekend to everyone *g*

Satellite A100-906 does not load Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5

I have installed Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 in my A100-906 Toshiba Notebook.
While loading the Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 a blue screen comes up and the system restarts.
I assume that is a conflict with my sound card but if it is so, is there any solution?
Thnx in advance
Novip
Ps. The Adobe Premiere 6.0 works fine

Hi
Its strange
I have searched on the Toshiba knowledge website (you can fin it under Support homepage) and found something useful
I dont know if this Toshiba technical support document wills help you but check this link;

Satellite A100-906: NVidia Go 7600 does not support Adobe Premier 3.0

After I bought the Satelltie A100-906 notebook with this graphics card, I installed the Adobe Premier 3.0. After the installation was successfully done, the Adobe Premier program could not open.
The OS goes to blue screen with some kind of communication errors with the graphics card and causes a restart. I have installed the same Premier onto another laptop with integrated Intel graphics card and it work's properly!
What's the problem? I heard from professional movie makers that NVidia cards don't work with Adobe Premier?! It seems to be a wide problem, but has anybody had some ideas on what to do? PS! I have the latest driver version from of it - 8.4.6.8

Hi,
did you installed the Nvidiadrivers from the Nvidia-website?
Maybe that can be a bluescreen-factor because the graphic-unit is a special mobile version, so you have to use the original Toshiba drivers.
Regarding Adobe premier: I had the same problem with my system, and my VGA-Card is a NV Geforce7900GTX, so my solution was searching for a driver which works with my Adobe.
After many trys, I found a driverversion which worked for me.
Be careful: the newest drivers are not automatically the best for all applications on a system. I have to use the 8x.xx version because the new version are not working properly, and that on a DESKTOP-System!!!
So, good luck, and I hope it was a little bit helpful. :)
Cheers

Satellite A100-906 PSAA9E: I cannot find drivers for Windows 2003 R2 Server

ps: sound not working

Hi
As mentioned above you will not find Toshiba drivers designed especially for the Windows 2003 R2 Server.
But dont worry and dont give up.
The simply Windows XP drivers should be compatible and you should be able to install the Xp drivers on the Win2003 Server OS.
good luck

Several issues with Satellite A100-569

Hello fellow toshers :)
I got a a100 569 laptop from a catalogue last may, last month it had to go off for repairs as the screen kept going blank and had to use the power button to shut it down and restart it again, also excessive paging issues along with my computer screen having a sort of mini earth quake.. so off it went and been back a week and these issues are still happening, i understand i they fitted a new hard drive and some circuit board.
I also have noted that I cant seem to get any upgrades from toshiba anymore regarding memory expansion.. this laptop is not even one year old so would appreciate any help this forum may be able to give me.
I will be ringing Toshiba up first thing tomorrow about the laptop still being faulty, also the online warranty facility doesnt recognise my serial number? very odd.
cheers people

Ta for the reply.. will try and phase question better but cant guarantee it ;)
I am thinking that 512mb is too low for vista to run properly without any glitches and need to know what MB in need and where to get it.
The issues I am still having is the screen going blank, only way to sort it is to hold down the power button for 5 secs then switch it back on.
Also the page shakes every now and again like a mini earthquake scene one sees at the movies or on the telly.
the laptop is or should be still under guarantee so really toshiba should sort it or give me another laptop.
when I run a systems health check the results say my laptop has excessive paging errors, steps i have taken is to increase the VR from 1024 to 3072 and turn off system restore but it still has excessive paging issues.
I want my laptop to run the way I paid for it to, and that is a laptop that can run windows vista basic without any issues, I am not happy with my laptop only 9 months old and having problems.
so basically i want to know why i am having the above problems and is/should 512mb be enough ram to run vista basic edition or have toshiba sold me a computer that is only up to half the job, if I do need to add more memory where can I get it from and what type as toshiba dont seem to offer any product support for my 9 month old laptop anymore.
thats the best i can do hope it is all crystal :-)

Satellite A100-906 - BIOS see 4GB RAM but OS only 3GB

The [manual|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&PRODUCT_ID=1 20569&DISC_MODEL=1] says that the laptop supports 4 gigabytes of memory and the BIOS displays them, but the operating system (x86_64) sees only 3 gigabytes.
~$ cat /proc/meminfo

~$ uname -a

What me do?
Thanks.

No, I do not use Windows.
I tested with different versions of the Linux operating system and Unix (opensolaris, openindiana).

Yes, even the technical documentation on the chipset is confirmed, but nevertheless, 1 gigabyte had disappeared. : (

External monitor usage with Satellite A100-PSAA9

I have a problem when I connect a 2º external monitor, it connect but next it disconect , it's always connecting and disconecting. I made the update of display driver and bios but I still have the same problem, what can i do?
My operating system is windows vista.

What do you mean exactly with disconnecting and connecting?
Does the display switch to the internal and external display or the display on the external monitor goes simply off.
Did you check the connection to the notebooks monitor port?

Sound problems with Satellite A100 (PSAA8)

I am continually having sound problems with the laptop. Whilst I hear the windows start up noise and beeps, I cannot hear any sound from things like CDs, iTunes, Media Player - in fact an error message will always come up. In Media Player the error message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device......." comes up. I have a the standard pre-installed Realtek sound thing on my laptop. I have tried downloading a newer driver from the Toshiba support centre, but I don't know what to do with the zip file. Also in Control Panel, Sounds, everything is greyed-out.
Hope someone can help cos I am going nuts with this :-)
Thanks

Hi again
I have downloaded the Realtek sound driver from the Tosh page and unzipped it.
(I have chosen the driver for Vista!!! I suppose you use Vista???)
There is a folder called sound. Access this folder and run Setup.exe
But before you will start this procedure you could access the device manager (control panel -> computer -> device manager) and choose sound, video, and game controller. There you have to mark realtek AC and click on uninstall and reboot the unit.
After this sound driver removing you should start the new driver installation described above. (setup.exe)

When new BIOS and drivers for Satellite A100-906 will be released?

Why releases of new versions of Bios have stopped?
Model very crude, it is necessary to improve it!
New versions of drivers and bios!

I didn't notice any problems with the drivers and the BIOS on thin notebook.
But who knows maybe new updates will be released some day we will see
regards
